MAINTAIN PRECISE CONTROL with Transparent Records Management

The information needs of records managers and general users are very different, and integrating proper records management into employees’ daily routines can be a challenge. Records managers are often forced to be more concerned with the rules of retention than the importance of records from a business perspective. This makes it difficult to manage records on a day-to-day basis without interfering with departments’ line-of-business activities. Laserfiche has pioneered an approach called Transparent Records Management that solves this dilemma.

Transparent Records Management ensures that your organization meets all of its governance mandates without compromising the ability of your staff to access the information they need to make fast, informed decisions.

` Dynamically configure separate views of the repository for each business unit, providing users with access to content in the context of their business practices.

` Records managers retain control over the way information is categorized and filed, while general users access a folder structure organized more logically for their needs.

` Workflow functionality automates the classification of content, regardless of how it’s captured or where in its life cycle it becomes a record, eliminating the most costly component of a records management application.

` Cutoff and eligibility dates are automatically calculated and assigned, increasing both compliance and staff productivity.

` Automatically track and control records from creation to destruction, making it easy to comply with regulations.

` For greater security, business users only access shortcuts to actual records.

` Automatically apply security tags to reduce the cost of regulatory compliance.

regardless of your records’ format, location or content—without additional staff training.

` Use the transparent records management approach to create a file plan and manage retention schedules without interfering with any department’s line of business.

` Create records from documents already under management.

` Search for records according to status or location.

` Run reports detailing where records are in their life cycle and which records are eligible for transfer, accession or destruction.

Intuitive Enterprise Records Management

Integrating records management into your business processes is often a complicated undertaking. You may rely on multiple applications to manage particular types of records, or you may worry about creating more work for both yourself and your staff.

By positioning records management functionality as the foundation of the Laserfiche enterprise content management (ECM) system, Laserfiche RME makes it simple to manage all your content and records—including scanned paper, electronic documents, e-mail, digital audio and video files, photographs and physical records—from a single application.

` Access, process, manage and run reports on records using Laserfiche Web Access, a Web-based thin client.

` Ensure consistency by automating life cycle management from document creation to final disposition.

` Demonstrate proper retention rules were followed with post-disposition retention of metadata and auditing information.

` Ensure the future accessibility of your archived records with storage in non-proprietary TIFF file format.

Automate life cycle management from record creation to final disposition.

` Implement a central point of control for all records management activities.

` Simplify governance by integrating DoD 5015.2-certified records management with workflow technology to dynamically build customized views to the repository for individual business units.

` Meet VERS standards for ensuring electronic document preservation and integrity with encrypted volumes, auditing for tamper detection and digital signature support for both documents and briefcases.

` Implement a DoD 5015.2 v3-certified integration with SharePoint 2010 and archive and manage SharePoint documents in the Laserfiche repository once the collaboration phase is complete.

Controlled and Flexible Governance

` Build an ECM infrastructure that not only meets outside regulations but also uses auditing and monitoring to incorporate internal controls.

` Promote compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA, USA PATRIOT Act, SEC, FINRA and other regulations.

` Empower compliance officials to regularly review user activity, assess the effectiveness of internal control mechanisms and demonstrate regulatory compliance with built-in audit trail tracking.

` Safeguard records with comprehensive access controls.

` Reduce litigation risks associated with expired and outdated records.

Comprehensive Risk Management

By integrating Laserfiche and SharePoint, our content is searchable on an enterprise level, and the results are returned to users transparently through SharePoint. Putting a secure, centralized and DoD 5015.2-certified Laserfiche repository behind SharePoint has given us much more control, efficiency and effectiveness.

Because we have to keep compliance with Texas State Library recommendations for records retention, we depend heavily on Laserfiche. Once records are scanned, Laserfiche keeps uniformity for records naming conventions and storage, reducing training time and eliminating mistakes.
